I get the sentiment but fuck.. every time I see this type of comment it makes it seem as though women are meek powerless individuals it’s like backhanded feminism

The point is the gender doesn't matter at all. The power dynamic is the core of the problem

Okay fair enough, but stating it like that means that it’s impossible for anyone to fight against that? So once again people have no agency?

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Huh? Laws are created all the time to protect against this issue but the topic clearly isn't fully solved

I get it’s still a problem I agree, my point is it shouldn’t always just be assumed this is the case that a person has no ability to fend off anyone with a larger power dynamic
